Notes
This recipe is flexible. Adjust the sweetness by changing the amount of simple syrup. For a stronger coconut flavor, use more coconut cream.
You can make a non-alcoholic version by replacing gin with extra pineapple juice and club soda.
For a frozen version, blend all ingredients except club soda with ice. Pour into a glass and top with club soda.
Store leftover pineapple juice in the fridge for up to 3 days. Use within that time for the freshest taste.
